Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Pat the boneless skinless chicken thighs dry with a paper towel to remove any excess moisture. Season both sides generously with salt and pepper. Dry chicken equals a better sear!

  2. Place your cast iron skillet over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Let the skillet get hot and ready for the chicken to sizzle.

  3. Add the seasoned chicken thighs to the skillet. Let them cook undisturbed for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they’re golden brown. You want that crispy, golden exterior, so resist the urge to flip them too early!

  4. While the chicken is searing, whisk together the bourbon, BBQ sauce, honey, apple cider vinegar, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder in a small bowl. Bring this mixture to a simmer in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Let it cook for 5-7 minutes to thicken up just a bit.
